Merging MTV Base and Dance would be a bad idea. I don't understand where this view that people who like hip hop and R&B would also definitely like dance music. I don't! Vice versa also.”
Yet MTV Dance features some of these same artists ie Jason Derulo Flo-Rida (just a couple), supposedly MTV Dance/Base were back in the start of the 00's under MTV Base so it has been done.
Regarding people who like hip hop r&b and dance (technically I do fall under that) but the playlists the last time I looked at times come across as similar (whether its changed is news to me)
Checked MTV Dance/Base playlist: Tinie Tempah, Flo-rida, Enrique Iglesias Justin Bieber
Ok lets put this into more context what has Flo-rida/Tinie Tempah really got to do with MTV Dance surely they should be more MTV Base??
Enrique Iglesias and Justin Bieber - seriously Justin Bieber on MTV Base?? WTF? Your basically saying its still alright to put up Cheryl Tweedy Cole on that channel too!
Enrique Iglesias - I am a bit confused why he is even on MTV Dance (yes he has had a few "dancy" tracks but thats not the point), the channels need a major overhaul on all their playlists and start from scratch and actually stick to what their "identity" really are as if you look at Flo-rida/Tinie Tempah blantly obvious they will be played on both channels but MTV Dance should be exactly that Dance and Base same Hip Hop and R&B none of this bieber crap on!
